The Rose in Full Bearing

The rose in full bearing there is no other blossom
So sweet and so flushing as that bonny flower
It shines the delight O' the young maiden's bosom
It's ever the sweetest in summers warm hour.

The beautiful rose tree how sweet its leaves blushes
With dew drops like silver pearls hung on its leaves
The sun light O' summer its bonny bloom flushes
How sweet is its blossom on midsummer eaves.

T'is as sweet as the breath O' the midsum[m]er morning
Where bees o'er the hay fiels are singing all day
When dews like white diamonds its leaves are adorning
How sweet is the full blowing rose on the spray.

The maiden she loves it the beautiful maiden
That goes i' the meadows a milking the kye
She sees the heath brere with its roses o'er laden
And puts a rose bud in her bosom for joy.
